Abstract
Condyloma acuminatum, in the form of genital warts, usually results from an infection by human papillomavirus, one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted diseases. It develops after an incubation period of 3 weeks to 8 months after infection; flat lesions are significantly rare. Condyloma acuminatum is prevalent in the genitals, particularly in the anus of immunodeficient patients. This also occurs in women during menstrual period and pregnancy. Although a common treatment option for rectal and anal lesions, surgical resection is highly invasive and results in a high rate of recurrence. Recently, endoscopic submucosal dissection has been performed for anorectal lesions, but data on its long-term follow-up are not available. We report the case of an immunocompromised patient due to pregnancy who remained recurrence-free 27 months after en-bloc resection by endoscopic submucosal dissection, with adequate visualisation of the flat lesion's safety margin, combined with magnifying narrow-band imaging.Entities:
